I was the one who initially started this. It was discussed on another thread somewhere. I forget where. But it wasn't a secret.

However, anyone can modify it. Nougat, I have no idea who added you. But feel free to change it if you want.

It took 1 year of nose clippingto lose 20 pounds (from about 140 to 120)Dropped from size 8-10 to size 4I'm 5' 4.5"

Ouch, at 53 I'm probably going to end up as one of the "old SLDers" and at almost 4 years, at an average of 4 tablespoons a day, that is a lot of oil I've bought at Costco. I always keep a spare gallon or so

At age 79, I have 15 lbs. to get rid of...clothes don't fit well, arthritic knee doesn't need extra weight to carry...and, just plain old vanity. Can be done, but gets more difficult every year. In my experience, without exercise, no weight-loss program works. Catch-22 is until some weight comes off, bad knee and recent hip surgery make most exercise rather impossible. SLD seems very workable, but do age and lack of exercise indicate chance of success very dim? Any suggestions?

Exercise isn't essential. I used SLD to lose 20 lb before my hip surgery. It is trickier with a slow metabolism, as diet alone doesn't give you much to work with on the calorie deficit side of things, but when appetite suppression was good, I ate less and averaged half a pound a week overall. After surgery I was much more active, but my appetite was not in good control. So I'm back a few years later, losing weight by the Platinum calorie method (innovations section), with exercise. Exercise alone does not explain the weight loss. Until this last plateau, I was losing 1.5 lbs/week. It's pretty painless, no deprivation.

Those last few pounds, though, tend to be harder to change. But 15 lbs at half a pound a week, it could be gone by the end of the year, without feeling like you had to give up anything. And some oils have great health benefits. Fishoil has an anti-inflammatory effect, but check with your doctor, as it has a blood thinning effect. I took 6 capsules a day (and still do); taking them at bedtime with a flavor free window is 1/2 tablespoon SLD oil.
